Pacific Deluxe press

[hemiford]

Question is about the shell holder on this old press.

It appears to have what looks like a roll pin pressed in, to hold the shellholder in.

I can't quite see how to remove the roll pin to get the shellholder out.

Any tips, or just drill it out ?

So I found a couple of answers, two scenarios, Pacific made their early presses with caliber specific shell holder rams, so try and match up a shell holder or try and insert one of your shell holders as later presse rams accepted todays shell holders. Not sure how tell which is which.
Here is the link I found with some explanations.

Pacific Presses and shell holders

Here's a question for those of you that have been doing this much longer than I . Do Pacific loading presses take the same shell holders as RCBS or Lyman ? Same as in interchangable is what I mean . I have an old Pacific 007 press that does but I was wondering about the older one such as...

Will keep searching and see what else I can find.

Wow, Thank you very much Phred !
I have a lot of reading to do now.
Looking really close, the roll pin might actually be an allen set screw, can't quite tell yet.

Called a Super Deluxe?

Yes Super Deluxe, that looks exactly like it.

Well it was indeed an allen set screw, came right out.
So now it appears I can use any of these standard shell holders.
Sunday is looking better and better.
